Big letters drawn in the sand
Laughing you threw the stick and ran
Silent I watched the tide come in
And wash your words into oblivion
[And wash your message away again]
"So I'll see you here tomorrow"
You said and so I came
And I waited alone forever
[And I never learned your name]
The pictures kept in tattered boxes
Forgotten but not thrown away
Like the smiles of neglected children
With lasting memories to betray
Lost like our innocence
